Because thats the only other year in recent history that had two headliners in the top spot. The only other time before 2011 was back in 99' and the poster was completely different then so you cant really refer to that year. Back in 2011 no one really knew who was gonna get the top spot till the set times were released but it ended up being Kanye. If you look at the 2011 poster and the 2013 poster you will notice that even though the days are different for the co-headliners the line setups are the same. (friday and sunday always have the headliners on the left side of the poster and the dates on the right side) So based on that and the fact that the poster is different for weekend one and weekend two you can decipher that the Stone Roses will get the W1 headliner spot and Blur will get the W2 headliner spot.

Thanks for the clarification! But isn't it possible that they just haven't updated the poster for weekend 2? It would defeat the purpose of the supposed "identical" weekends to have them switch each weekend. Also it wouldn't make sense for the bands to prepare two different sets, assuming headlining calls for a much longer set.

Re: 2013 Poster Changes

I think they will both get the same amount of time (80min) both weekends but they will switch spots so that they both get to headline, they probably would of done the same thing with Kanye and the Strokes but they were not doing two weekends back then.

they said identical sets and set times last year but we all know that Radiohead did not stick to that. I think they are gonna try to make it as identical as they can with the one exception that the Stone Roses and Blur switch place so less people complain that one headlined over the other.

Lol. Wut? They never said that. In fact, in an interview with Paul Tollet, he was asked why he asked Roger Waters to perform Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. He said he didn't ask Waters to do that and the only reason he was billed as "performing Dark Side of the Moon" is because Waters demanded it himself. Tollet went on to say he doesn't ever demand an artist he books to perform something and he would never feel right telling a band what to play. He says he book the band to play his festival and what they play is completely up to them.

In other words, they never guaranteed bands would play identical setlists and also you're an idiot.

Ill admit Im probably wrong about the setlist being the same, i thought i read that in an article last year. We'll see who's right about who headlines each weekend and how much time they get. crazy deja vu right now

Re: 2013 Poster Changes

What the fuck? Same sets? Where was that ever said? Pretty sure if a band wants to switch up their set or play a different song, they can, and they will. In fact, I saw this exact thing happen NUMEROUS times last year with SEVERAL bands (not just Radiohead).

Re: 2013 Poster Changes

Though I will say that I heard the contract for the Buzzcocks stated that certain songs HAD to be played...now I thought bullshit on that but the person telling me this was dead serious and said they saw the contract themselves to verify it (they were friends with one of the dudes in the band).
